Headphone Jack Replacement & Repair
If the sound from your computer or mobile device is hissing, crackling, or fading in and out when you use headphones, it could be your headphone jack. If you have tested your headphones with other devices to ensure that they are working correctly, the problem is most likely in the jack. However, there are some simple things that you can do to try to solve the problem before seeking repair.
Troubleshooting Headphone Jack Problems
The headphone jack may be dusty or dirty. You can try using compressed air to clean out the debris to see if this solves your issues. You may also try gently removing lint and cleaning a jack using a damp toothpick; however, you’ll need to be extremely careful when inserting the toothpick into the jack to avoid further damage.
Another troubleshooting hack to try is checking your computer or device settings. You might need to update a driver or adjust the volume. Sometimes a device will automatically mute the volume when headphones are plugged in or removed. You should also check the connection by removing the headphones and re-inserting them. They might be improperly inserted. Finally, try restarting the device to see if it solves the problem.

My phone stopped accepting charge on me Friday night and I couldn't do anything about it the next day due to work. The owner was so nice and came in on his day off to help me. My phone's battery had gotten damaged / died and he replaced it for me and made sure to double check to make sure that was my only issue! All on his day off, I'm so incredibly thankful! Absolutely go to them, they're quick and thorough.
